Uses of Cutoff Wheels

For industries such as automotive, aircraft, shipbuilding and pipeline construction, cutoff wheels are integral tools for grinding, cutting, polishing and deburring a wide range of materials and surfaces. A cutoff wheel is a specially designed wheel or disc commonly used with angle grinders and power saws that’s coated with a blend of abrasive elements based on the types of metals or materials the job calls for. A top quality cutoff wheel provides the strength, versatility and durability to boost productivity and reduce long-term operating costs.

RPM speed, size, diameter, shape, density of the material and the precision of the desired cut all play a factor in choosing the right cutoff wheels. In addition to matching the properties of the cutoff wheels to the types of materials and applications you need them for, selecting the correct grade goes a long way in ensuring you have the right equipment for the job. As a rule of thumb, soft grade cutoff wheels provide greater precision when working with lower horsepower machines, while medium- and hard-grade wheels offer longer service life and faster, high-horsepower cutting and grinding.
